This sculpture presents Iran not as geography, but as a wounded body. The rough contours, cracks, and rugged wood evoke pain; while the blue tiles remain as echoes of beauty and enduring identity. *Upon the Skin of Homeland, Traces of Oppression* reflects a wounded collective memory caught between tradition and tyranny.
